ANNOYING PEOPLE If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane or

train:

1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.

2. Remove your laptop.

3. Turn it on.

4. Make sure the guy who won't leave you alone can see the screen.

5. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.

6. Then hit this link:

Well, I think it is so very Funny!

Oh, like people seeing written arabic and immediately thinking terrorism?

Oh my sides.

[doodlebug 3]

so your husband is an arab and you don't think he'd be offended by the fact that you're correlating arabic text to a supposed bomb? And we wonder why our security checks take so freakin' long.

My Italian friends (whose father at one time actually worked in waste management ) don't get all whiny about people making Sopranos jokes about them. Nor do my Russian friends, and Russians certainly get a lot of play as evil villains in various media. Why are some people more "off-limits" than others? Regardless, it's humour, meant in jest. It's like with Borat. The joke's not about "stupid people from Kazakhstan". It's about how so many stupid Americans fall for his ridiculous ######. Or Ali G-"Oh he's from England, that explains this odd behavior." Uh, no, not quite. You're being had. Only an ignorant idiot would fall for that stupid countdown rubbish. It's making fun of them, not Arabs. Which is kinda funny actually.

I just don't think we're there yet. Italian Americans can laugh at Sopranos jokes because most people *do* realize that not all Italian Americans are mafioso. I think there's a large number of people who really are frightened by the sight of arabic writing, seriously. I realize the joke isn't supposed to be saying all Arabs are terrorists, but I think it's pointing out a painful reality as opposed to a humorous one.
